It is holding up nice Craig, the only thing that i had to do it lately was re-glue a couple of tires that spun loose.
The axle are all modified with rubber washers in place of the metal shims in the diffs. The rubber washers force the spider gears together so hard that it acts like a posi rear end but, if you are carrying 15 pounds of dirt and turn sharp the spider gears will turn.
You can really see them all turn in this vid @ 3:50 mark.

Last year i had to open one axle up because the posi action was gone and i found the rubber washers were ground to shreds. So, i cleaned it out and made new washers for it. I just took both of the axles out of the king hauler after the Cabin Fever show and did the rubber washer mod to them as well.
